Lutsk, UKR Men's Hammer Ivan Tsikhan 77.72 Great news for drug cheats everywhere (in fairness he was cleared the first time but not the second)

If you're born in Northern Ireland you are automatically a citizen of but you can also apply for citizenship and will be granted it. Dual citizenship is allowed in both countries. Pretty certain he doesn't have citizenship though

It's official now

Highlights of the whole day here https://www.world.rugby/video/645802/monaco-sevens-highlights-mens-final-day

"Five weightlifters whose chances of qualifying for the Olympic Games appeared to be dead have been told they will be going to Tokyo 2020. The three men and two women are all European and have benefited from the reallocation of places not taken by other continents, a surprise withdrawal, and a doping suspension. The men are the veterans Peter Nagy of Hungary in the super-heavyweights, Adamas Sidiskis of Lithuania at 109 kilograms, and Erkand Qerimaj of Albania at 81kg. The women are the 25-year-old German Lisa Schweizer at 64kg and the young Austrian Sarah Fischer."

Wow. He threw 0.12 furlongs or 4.65 rods !!!!!

Group A 34-0 32-0

A case that just makes you sad and not angry. This seems absolutely not cheating. Poor man has deep problems.

Players dropping out of Tokyo surprises me more than Rio. You'd think the players sponsors would know how big the golf and tennis equipment market is in Japan and apply pressure on them to go.

Can anyone confirm this story to be true? getting a universality place in the men's 100? https://ksltv.com/464521/park-city-sprinters-dream-comes-true-after-making-olympics-in-second-sport/?

Even if he wins the US open this week he'd miss the Olympic team by around 6-7 places

Kladno, Women's 400m Ama Pipi 51.08

I'd be shocked to see no medals at all. Wouldn't now be surprised to see no gold medals though.

Must be doubt as to whether she'll be in Tokyo now

Less than 40 days to go until Tokyo and you can guarantee there will be a lot of stories like this emerging in the next few weeks.

Rumours of a big story about to emerge from the USA within the next hour

One more weekend of tournaments for men, two for women. But this weekend is the men's US Open and next week is the women's US PGA championships. So lots of ranking points available
